Does this mean that the rumors surrounding a PC version weren't true? Probably not. Those rumors were the result of Amazon France taking preorders for a PC version of the game even though one still hasn't been officially confirmed. The fact that the site is willing to take money from people is a good indication that a PC version of GTA 5 will be coming in the near future, but if a digital copy is available will it only be through Amazon or can PC gamers rely on Steam to deliver the goods?

Rockstar announced the Spring 2013 release date for GTA 5 on Steam, a move that would be pretty bone-headed if the game weren't going to be available on PC. And Rockstar isn't run by boneheads, hence the reason that all their recent console games that hit PC were also announced on Steam, and the one that wasn't (Red Dead Redemption) never saw release on Steam.

There are other clues that a PC version of GTA 5 is definitely in the works.

Some PC gamers sent messages to Rockstar about system requirements for GTA 5 and were not told "this won't be on PC" but were instead given vague answers on what the specs could be. An image of a GTA 5 promo box at an EB games store said 'PC' on it. Images of a Game Mania ad also says GTA 5 will be available on PC. Even the IGN Wiki clearly lists the 'PC' as a platform for the forthcoming game.

The big question, obviously, is "When" with a capital "W."

Here's where the newly leaked promos could shed some light. If Rockstar isn't committing to a PC Version on in-store ads, then is a Steam-ready PC version going to be released AFTER the console release dates? Jeremy Peel at PCGamesN thinks so. So does George Santayana, the early 20th century poet who said "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

So what has the past taught us? If you're a PC gamer, then you'll likely be waiting six to eight months for a Windows version of GTA 5. If you're Rockstar, you learned that there is plenty of money to be made on consoles, and the PC gamers didn't show your franchise much love the last time around. Is it because Rockstar didn't show PC gamers much love by releasing the PC version so much later?

Well, now it's just a vicious cycle of not-much-love-showing. And it looks like it's going to continue ...
